Subtitle: Company purchases another site of around 4,540 sqm at
Frankfurt-Riedberg / 254 student apartments set to be built in the
direct vicinity of the campus / Property is part of the closed-end
real estate fund for student housing initiated by MPC Capital

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - 31 August 2011 - YOUNIQ AG, the
leading provider of high-quality student apartments in Germany,
continues to focus on its core "Student Housing" business. The
company has acquired a further site in Frankfurt-Riedberg via
notarial purchase agreement, with the property totalling an area of
around 4,540 square meters. The project "YOUNIQ Riedberg II" will be
built around 200 meters from campus and will encompass 254 apartments
with a total living space of around 5,600 square meters as well as 85
parking spaces. Construction is due to begin in January 2012. This
increases the number of apartments under management or under
construction to 2,453 units.

In addition to the nearby campus, which is just a short walk away,
"YOUNIQ Riedberg II" also boasts ideal transport connections to the
city centre, with everyday necessities being satisfied by the
shopping centre located opposite the new development. The company
plans to continue its successful YOUNIQ concept "Plug & Study" at the
site, renting fully furnished apartments on the basis of an all-in
rent. The rent, which will start from around EUR 450 / month will
include all ancillary costs as well as Internet and cable TV fees.

Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, is delighted about this
acquisition next door to the up-coming natural sciences centre of
Goethe University Frankfurt: "Riedberg is a highly attractive
location for us due to the roughly 6,500 students expected at the new
campus and the shortage of accommodation in the area. From an
operational point of view, this represents another step towards
systematically expanding our leading market position in the "Student
Housing" sector. We are confident of making further purchases in the
near future."

The project "YOUNIQ Riedberg II" will make up part of the closed-end
real estate fund for student housing initiated by the investment
company MPC Capital. As a result, YOUNIQ AG will balance the project
under inventory properties, which will see income effects with
transfer of the project to the MPC fund. This is likely to take place
in the first half of 2013.
